Browser-based tool

HTTP Status Checker

Send a lightweight browser request to a public URL and inspect status, headers, redirect target, or CORS limitations.

Requests run from the browser. Some URLs block cross-origin access, so a curl fallback is included when that happens.

URL Public endpoint

Best for public endpoints. If a site blocks browser requests, use the generated curl command as a fallback.

Status result Waiting

curl fallback Fallback

Browser checks are ideal for public endpoints. If CORS blocks the response, the curl command gives you a direct terminal fallback.

Is this HTTP status checker free?

Yes.

Why do some URLs return a browser error instead of a status code?

Many servers block cross-origin browser requests. When that happens, the page gives you a curl fallback instead.

Does this tool support private endpoints?

Not reliably. It works best with public URLs that allow browser access.

Is my URL stored?

No. The page doesn't send your input to a custom backend.

This check runs straight from the browser, so it's quick but limited by whatever cross-origin rules the target sets.

If the server blocks browser access, the page points that out and gives you a curl fallback.

For private APIs, authenticated endpoints, or real monitoring, you'll eventually want something server-side.

This version stays lightweight on purpose so you can do a quick public check without setting up anything heavier.

Format JSON with clean indentation so logs, payloads, and fixtures are easier to read.

Test regular expressions against sample text and see matches immediately.

Encode unsafe URL characters or decode percent-encoded text.
